In case you missed them, here's some of last week's most popular topics:

WSO Exclusive: Legerdemath - Anatomy of a Banking Trick Post By @Edmundo Braverman

Most brazenly, we taught clients phony math that involved settling Treasury-rate locks by referencing Treasury yields rather than prices

Work stimulating drugs: PROs and CONS Post By @Aristokrat

From my personal experience, I can confidently say that Adderall/vyvance/concerta does wonders when you're trying to stay awake for the longest amount of time while at the same being able to focus well. But...

Types of Girls You Will Go On A Failed Date With: Part I Post By @ShakeyGraves

1. The Vegan/Vegetarian or Some Mixture of the Two…Who Knows
Ahh. You know, I respect these girls. The commitment to this “lifestyle” is impressive but nearing insane. I don’t know how you could go through your life not taking a bite of a bacon cheeseburger. What is worse, is when you are actually taking the bite out of the bacon cheeseburger yourself and she pointedly adds that the cow you’re eating was injected with pesticides and was treated horribly in the farm. Thanks, I’ll eat the bun with the lettuce and tomatoes only now.

Starting Investment Company, For Beginners Post By @InvestingChamp

I am studying for the Series 65 and want to start an Investment Company. I have family and friends interested and the seed money will be approx. $2million for starters. The bulk of that is from one person so not all of my investors are accredited investors. I'm looking to start a small LLC once am licensed.

Types Of Girls You Will Meet In A Club: Part II Post By @ShakeyGraves

1. The Cockblock
We have all experienced this disaster. It's like clockworks. You've met a cute girl in the club and things are escalating quickly. Hell you might have even forgotten that you are in a club since you are having a grand ol' time in the corner. Then boom! Here comes the Titanic out of left field - her "best friend." She has probably knocked two people down on the way over to you and most likely spills some of her drink on your shirt. Swell. In a matter of moments she swears you off, you lose your girl at which point you resort to getting blacked out with your buddies. How does it feel? You've been cockblocked.

The Importance of African Development Post By @Wall St

As the Vice reporter watches an African woman chop and prepare a wild rodent, she literally nicks herself with her knife. This is what Vice was trying to prove. If the rodent were carrying a deadly disease, she would have been instantly infected right there on camera.

Ways in which the Deep South is a giant bargain Post By @Going Concern
